Welcome to theAkron Education Campus

About Us

What We Are

We are a locally-owned, privately operated learning and tutoring center. We have been in operation as an independent entity for over 50 years with a 90% success rate.

WHAT WE ARE NOT

We are not a "drill and kill" program. We do NOT use computer practice programs (you can do that at home). Our program involves one-on-one sessions with one teacher and one student (not multiple students supervised by one teacher).
